Reduce Depression With These Free Tips For Better Health

Alberto Rendon| August 2, 2016

In this article, I am going to explain methods on how to reduce depression.

There are ever increasing daily pressures, facing people and it is very easy to become down and depressed.

I am a person who was often feeling low, sorry for myself and basically was very unhappy. However, I have now managed to pull my life around, and am now able to cope and enjoy what life brings.

I hope you enjoy reading the article and if you are one of the many people who suffer from depression, I hope the advice is beneficial.

A Testimony by Stephen Hill Who Effectively Reduced Depression

My name is Stephen Hill and I am from England. Looking back on my life, as I often do, I now find it hard to believe the way in which I used to think and approach life.

I’m a very negative person. I would stress about seemingly everything and believed, that I was so unfortunate compared to other people.

I would always be comparing with those of my friends and family.

These people seemed to really enjoy life and did not seem to have a care in the world. On the other hand, I had many issues to deal, with which made life one big struggle.

I was unable to talk fluently due to a stammering problem. this stammer caused me many traumas and made me into a very quiet and shy person.

This issue alone made me very depressed and made socializing very difficult.

I’m sure you can imagine the effect it had on my self-confidence and self-esteem.

These Were the Other Issues Why I Had to Reduce Depression

A constant battle with my weight, I was far to over-weight most of the time, this I believe was because I sought comfort in the way of food.

My height, I was the shortest male in my class in high school, this for whatever reason made me feel less of a man and less attractive to members of the opposite sex.

My bald patch, this seems so trivial now, however, this area of my scalp where hair does not grow caused me many anxieties, especially when I was a teenager.

Enough is enough.

In my early twenties, I decided that I had had enough of being miserable and depressed. I wanted to be happy and content.

I then made a decision to attempt improving my life.

The, I was going to hopefully achieve this by reading about successful people, and by learning more about depression. Positive thinking and ways to improve self-confidence.

I spent many months doing this and the results changed my whole life.

What I needed to do, was not to compare my life to people just in my circle, but to compare it to everyone in the world.

I started to read and find out about how people lived in different parts of the world.

Watching the news each day would keep me abreast of current affairs.

Some of the stories and the way in which people live came not so much as a shock.

But as a wake-up call to me. I would not want to swap my life with theirs, that is for sure.

The problems that I had or thought I had, were now so small compared to what other people have to cope with. And it actually made me feel quite grateful.

To Reduce Depression Is To Change A Lifestyle

I have a weight problem, this is something of my own doing and something which I can change.

If I am determined enough.

Even though I stammer, I can still converse, I may even be able to cure the stammer, which I now have. I was now suddenly feeling more positive and was now able to seek solutions to my issues.

Today I have now achieved fluency and am at a weight that I am happy with.

However, I could not do anything about my lack of height or about the bald patch.

This is not a worry to me.

As I am now happy with my height and I show everybody who I meet my bald patch like I am proud of it.

In Closing

It is a time to pull ourselves to reduce depression by becoming stronger. And also thinking in a more positive manner. When finding solutions to our problems and by realizing that we are one of the lucky ones.
